What is the syntax for comments in LIGO?

In PascaLIGO and CameLIGO, the block comments are anything (including UTF-8 encoded glyphs) between (* and *). In ReasonLIGO, the delimiters are /* and */.

In all three LIGO syntaxes, line comments are introduced by //.

Anything between // and a new line \n is considered a comment by the compiler. And anything between (* and *) is also a comment.

So

// This is a comment

const a: nat = 4n; // and this is a comment

(* and this is also a comment *)

  • You should give people the possibility to answer your questions and not always rush to answer them yourself.

  • If you think there is anything to add, you are free to provide another answer. Also: I did ask this question on Slack and got an answer from the LIGO compiler developers. That's how I learned about the (**) notation. I am trying to provide some information here on Stack Exchange which is unfortunately lacking because the community spends too much time on Slack.

  • @FFF You should be telling the people hanging out on Slack that they should move their Q&As here. You are barking up the wrong tree. Oct 30, 2020 at 18:14
